Overview

• Crews responded around 3:20–3:27 p.m. Sunday to a five-unit building at 2035 N. Holton St. after a 911 call from a trapped third-floor resident.
• Firefighters located the man unconscious in his kitchen and removed him, and he regained consciousness as he was being taken for care.
• He was transported to Ascension Columbia St. Mary's for treatment of smoke inhalation.
• The fire was contained to the third-floor apartment, which is temporarily uninhabitable, while one other unit has minor smoke damage and three remain habitable.
• Investigators report no broader building hazard or additional injuries, and a nearby station three blocks away aided the swift response.
